Dockerfile

The docker file sets up a docker image where three things are prepared:

• JsInspect is installed, such that you can run it from the command line.
• Cloc is installed.
• All versions of jQuery specified in jquery_releases.csv are cloned and downloaded to /usr/jquery-data.

When running the container a bash shell is opened such that you can manually execute commands to run JsInspect and cloc.

Using this image

Build using docker build -t code-clones .

Then run using docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD/out:/out" code-clones. We again mount an out directory linked to the host file system such that you can copy out files from the container.

When the container is running you can execute bash commands as if it is a virtual machine.

⚙️ How:

To compare a range of jQuery versions

python main.py -v -r -start "1.7" -end "3.4.0" -loc -dup_detect

arguments:
    -v -> enables printing in the CLI 

    -r -> indicates we want a range <REQUIRED>

    -start "version" -> first version in range <REQUIRED>

    -end "version" -> last version in range  <REQUIRED>

    -loc -> count lines of code <REQUIRED>

    -dup_detect -> versions will be checked for duplicates <REQUIRED>

To compare only a pair of versions

python main.py -v -p -start "version" -end "version" -loc -dup_detect

arguments:
    -p -> indicates that only two versions will be compared <REQUIRED>

    -start "version" -> first version in range <REQUIRED>

    -end "version" -> last version in range  <REQUIRED>

    -loc -> count lines of code <REQUIRED>

    -dup_detect -> versions will be checked for duplicates <REQUIRED>
